Adopt Remote Patient Monitoring Solutions
One of the most impactful medical technology innovations we’ve adopted at OSP is remote patient monitoring (RPM) solutions to enhance chronic disease management. For years, patients with conditions like diabetes or hypertension had to rely on periodic in-person visits, which often led to gaps in care. But with our custom RPM solutions, integrated directly with electronic health records (EHR), we’ve made it possible for physicians, hospitals, and healthcare providers to track vitals like blood pressure, glucose, and heart rate in real time. They can intervene proactively, significantly reducing hospital readmissions and improving patient outcomes.
The key here was seamless data integration. My team worked on building HL7 and FHIR-compliant interfaces, ensuring that data flows smoothly between the RPM devices and clinical systems. As a result, providers can make timely, data-driven decisions, while patients feel more engaged and are better able to stick to their treatment plans. This successful project has reinforced my belief that technology should empower both clinicians and patients, making healthcare more proactive, not just reactive. It’s been incredibly rewarding to see how this approach has made a real difference.

Implement Telemedicine for Pain Management
Telemedicine has been a lasting game-changer for improving access to care, and its impact continues to grow. Since the pandemic, it has evolved from an emergency solution to an integral part of modern healthcare, breaking down barriers for patients who previously struggled to receive timely medical attention. Many individuals live far from major medical centers, requiring hours of travel for specialist appointments. Now, telemedicine provides a convenient and effective way to bridge that gap, ensuring that care is no longer dictated by geography.
One example of its success in my organization is how we have leveraged telemedicine for pain management consultations. Previously, patients with chronic pain had to endure long commutes for frequent follow-ups, often worsening their discomfort. By implementing virtual visits, we have allowed patients to receive expert guidance from the comfort of their homes, improving adherence to treatment plans while reducing unnecessary physical and financial burdens.
Telemedicine is no longer a futuristic fantasy—it’s here to stay, seamlessly integrated into patient care and continuously evolving to meet the needs of diverse populations.

Use AI-Powered Agents in Oncology
We’re driven by the belief that AI can revolutionize patient care. We’re not just building algorithms; we’re building solutions that directly impact people’s lives. One specific example of a medical technology innovation we’ve successfully implemented and which I’m particularly proud of involves the use of AI-powered Agents in Oncology. Traditionally, these fields often rely on highly trained specialists to interpret complex images or data. This can lead to bottlenecks, delays in diagnosis, and even variability in accuracy. Our AI agent addresses these challenges by acting as an intelligent assistant for clinicians.
The impact has been significant. We’ve seen a clinical time saving of 60 minutes per day per clinician. We’ve also observed an annual time savings of 1,740 hours in patient scheduling simplifying the process for patients, all ultimately leading to more time for personalized and effective treatment plans. By automating some of the more tedious and time-consuming tasks, this frees up clinicians to focus on more complex cases and spend more time interacting with patients. It’s important to emphasize that AI Agents are not intended to replace doctors. It’s a tool to augment their expertise and enhance their capabilities. It’s about empowering clinicians with the information they need to make better, more informed decisions. We see this as a collaborative partnership between humans and AI, working together to deliver the best possible patient care.
What makes our approach unique is our many years of experience in not just development but implementation and scaling with a focus on integration with existing workflows. We’ve prioritized building AI agents that are not “black boxes” but rather provide clear and understandable explanations for their findings. We’ve also worked closely with clinicians to ensure seamless integration with their existing workflows, minimizing disruption and maximizing adoption. And, perhaps most importantly, we’ve kept the patient at the center of our design process, ensuring that our technology ultimately leads to improved outcomes and a better patient experience.

Integrate Red Light Therapy in Clinics
We have been integrating red light therapy into our physical therapy clinic to improve our patients’ cellular health. We are using it to help fight inflammation, speed up tissue healing times, and speed up overall recovery, and the results have been fantastic. Red light therapy has been around for a while, but now cheaper LED lights have made bringing this medical technology into a clinic like ours for the benefit of our patients a reality. While our patients appreciate red light therapy for speeding up their recovery times, they really love it when they notice improved sleep, better mood, more energy, and improved athletic performance.
